Changes in CCI Ipsilateral Marker Expression Profile Assessment with QQ (quantile quantile) Plots. A non-traditional method of looking at the flow data is to evaluate the change in distribution of each parameter tested, and presenting it with the probability plot, termed QQ plot. Ideally, when two populations share similar distribution, the points in the QQ plot will lie on the line y = x. In our case, the CCI ipsilateral data, when compared to the sham ipsilateral, is obviously skewed implying on a dramatic change in the marker expression.
